[Bgav]

Every time gauthier is off that line they go ham

 

[LiquidSnake]

Mcdavid looks like Oilers player already

You been trying all game. That was a good one

 

[Cellee]

Never change HF boards.... not even finished game one and people are bashing players LOL just sad.

Forecasting teenager's futures based on one game.

Holy cow

Hard to believe this Domi the seed of the other one.

who is the mom? hayley wickenheiser?

 

[CorgisPer60]

Yup. Montreal.

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Point and Virtanen have been very impressive.

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Virtanen!

 

[Mickey the mouse]

Is Mcdavid playing ?

Domi, Fabbri , Duclair and Virtanan look outstanding.

Even though Slovaks are totally out classed

I love Virtanen! Would still rather Nylander (yes I'm a leafsfan) but Vancouver has a lot to be excited about with Virtanen. He is physical and can score. A jamie Benn/Corey Perry type of player

 

[SometimesY]

I think Vancouver got a great kid with Virtanen.

 

[Cellee]

Slovakia's goalie must be exhausted

 

[CornWillis]

Virtanen with Point and Crouse please?

 

[X66]

Slovakia made Canada angry and now they are paying for it.

This will teach them to ever be born.

Also before people jump on McDavid, give him time he's that good.

Eichel didn't register a single point in their 10 goal game during the tune up, both teams are just that stacked.

 

[JC Numminen]

Nice start to the tournament, boys

 

[ottawa]

What a boxing day celebration!

Great post. This is how opposing fan bases should discuss other teams prospects. With respect and real crisisism. Cheers!

 

[TofoEmptyNt]

Yup. Montreal.

That winning atmosphere. Hope the ACC doesn't have the opposite effect.

 

[Cosmix]

I agree, but last year I thought he was one of Canada's top forwards, playing around the net and crashing and banging, this year looks like he's trying to play it the skill way, not his game at all.

Maclean has ruined him!

 

[trilobyte]

It was a very good first game effort.

 

[ottawa]

Fucale went in. He was great

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Good game

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

The Slovaks were not a strong team, but I liked the fact that we kept pushing that entire game. No shifts off, and hungry to score. We've been missing that for a few years while we over-focused on systems and boring "200 foot" hockey.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Giving out awards...?

"Congrats on getting your ass kicked. Here's a hockey stick."

 

[Alerion]

Fucale went in. He was great

He was good, not a lot to do though. One positive is that the two issues he had in the pre-tournament games (glove and puck handling) were both non-existent tonight. He had a few solid glove saves and moved the puck smoothly and crisply when we were under pressure.
